Abstract

The study examined the effect of Sustainable Conflict Management Strategies on the working environment of Organizations in Southeast Nigeria. The study examines the impact of avoiding and cooperating in conflicts on the workplace environment of sustainable organizations in Southeastern Nigeria. To carry out the research, 720 respondents were surveyed from public and private organizations throughout the region, using a quantitative design. The study group was found to be highly educated, with most people having HND/Bachelor’s qualifications, and they were actively working in their professions for 5–10 years. The measurement model showed that the constructs are both reliable and valid. The Alpha and CR values were both in the good range, from 0.732 to 0.822 and 0.793 to 0.891, respectively. Since AVD (0.513), COL (0.602), and WOS (0.524) are all above 0.50, the results indicate convergence. The Fornell-Larcker criterion and HTMT values indicate that the factors are not related. According to SEM, using the Avoidance Strategy led to a poorer work environment, whereas using the Collaboration Strategy improved it. The model helped explain 8.4% (R² = 0.084) of the differences in the working environment and was found to be significant (F = 33.08, p < 0.001). In conclusion, organizations in Southeast Nigeria should prioritize collaborative conflict management strategies while minimizing avoidance tactics. The study recommends that Organizations should invest in training programs that focus on collaborative conflict resolution techniques.
